Red Engine Rambles

I've been on a huge TATMR kick recently, and after rewatching the Final Cut of the film, I found myself thinking of several "what if" YTP ideas...so much so that I made one for the first time! youtube.com/watch?v=Al_hd1…

@Tapped549080 One of my favorite Mandela affects in my life is me misremembering this as a real episode (I never saw Dennis’ actual episode when I was younger)

I like this video where Dennis catches on fire

@TubaElephant Happy Birthday!

Today’s my birthday! 🎂 🎉

@SomeSimsIdiot Well that would certainly explain why the scaling of the bridge is so weird, because it wasn’t made for Gauge 1 Hell, if you compare it to the collapsing bridge from S6 it actually seems to be pretty similar with the space between the arches and the top where the rails are

We have had our suspicions about various props, such as the bandstand (which is suspiciously Patrick coloured and pack scale) and even the Sodor River Bridge, which *may* have been built for Kelly's Heroes prior to it being cut. (3/4)

✍️✍️S12 Writing Info✍️✍️ This weekend, I had a chat with a former model maker. We discussed various things, one of which being quite interesting. For S12, the team became a 'Skeleton Crew', which means that it was the bare minimum. And, because of this, procedures were to (1/4)

@KirstyWynEdward I’m sorry to hear that🫂

@xpukedevlinx I’m so sorry for your loss

@Johnsonworks205 Happy Birthday!

Whats 9+10?

✨You’re a really useful engine, Thomas. ✨ History repeated itself today, as the Magic Railroad team received a warm welcome to the Isle of Man by none other than John Bellis. More soon!

@starlightfan02 I also think Joe and Neil both work in their own respective versions of the film as well. The Director's Cut would feel weird if Neil was D10, and vice versa

@starlightfan02 For me it's a tie between Joe and Neil. I still love Neil a lot, and he HEAVILY carries the final cut of this film, but Joe's performance is also incredible, he's very theatrical yet doesn't go too over the top to the point of being overly scary for kids.

It's honestly really hard for me to pick who does Diesel 10 the best in TATMR All three of them do such a wonderful job in their own unique way.

@Skarlouie Happy Birthday!

Get the important things done first!

@TheRedJinty His greatest contribution to the franchise was carrying a load of shit which says a lot about his character

Unpopular Opinions on Steve the Barge?

@BigMistakeYT His YTPs are the best thing ever. Friars Rubbing Wood and The Trainkillers are two of my favorite YTPs/youtube videos in general

Rewatched HourOfPoop’s Thovis YTP today & good lord, this is some of the best editing I’ve ever seen.

@wonkyfunnel off the top of my head, there are these oil covered versions of Thomas Percy and Diesel that came in “blind bags”, meaning you only knew who it was after buying one. I own the Salty too, somehow it’s the only toy of the character I’ve ever had

quite the fun toy, does anyone else know any obscure or weird Thomas items they can share with me?

Thank you, my friends.

With Racism ramping up in this fandom as of late, I think it’s important to show the class this scene from the Shining Time Station Episode, “Schemer’s Special Club” where Stacy stands up to a bigot, I think it’s something a few of us could learn from.

@VAbrickaleg Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Twin Peaks, Pixar and Dreamworks films, The Boys, Gumball, Music, and probably other things but I can’t remember them all

im gonna sound stupid to ask this question are there any thomas fans who ACTUALLY like anything other than thomas, trains or any childrens bbc show

I think people are misunderstanding the issue here. It isn't 'oh you can't customise Nia without being racist' The issue is that saying Nia isn't a 'real sudrian' unless you remove her cultural roots and when a black person says 'hey this isn't cool' everyone dogpiles on her.

Nia & The Whitewashing of East African Cultures; a REALLY necessary 🧵: . . . . .

@FlyingPringle Happy Birthday!

and then one day you find ten years have got behind you

@esssiertiz23 I'm so sorry for your loss

I didn't want to talk about this but I just got a new job and I already wasn't having a good day. Peanut has been ill for a month and hasn't gotten any better. I was ready to go home when I heard the news about his passing. He was resting 10 minutes after I left for work. It hurts more when you remember when he was a baby. Rest In Peace, Peanut 🕊️🕊️❤️❤️
